A high school football coach in America has been accused of telling a German player he was the youngster’s “new Hitler” as damning text messages were revealed on social media.

Coach Jason Brown became famous when he starred in the third season of successful Netflix series Last Chance U as coach of the Independence Community College Football team — his second season in charge of the outfit.

The documentary series follow football teams at junior colleges which are filled with talented players who have struggled in life off the field, and they’re given one last shot at making it as footballers and graduating to a more prestigious division one university.

In the third season of the popular program Brown’s explosive temper is impossible to miss. He’s a hard task master who regularly swears at his players.

According to the Montgomery Country Chronicle, Brown abused Alexandros Alexiou of Germany and accused him of flouting team rules in a heated text message exchange.

Alexiou later posted a screenshot of the messages on his Facebook profile.

According to the messages, Brown called the player a “German f**k” and dished out disciplinary points to him. According to the team’s disciplinary system, once a player reaches 25 points they are kicked off the squad. Brown initially raised Alexiou’s tally to 17 before going one step further.

Brown also allegedly referred to himself as Alexiou’s “new Hitler”.

“U have 17 points towards your 25 points see (assistant coach) Stadler for explanation and u got an extra point for not hanging the lion poster as instructed I’m your new Hitler figure out your life,” one message read.

When Alexiou asked why he had 17 disciplinary points, Brown responded by saying: “Cuz I said quit being disobedient.

“You are now cut from the team go yell somewhere else don’t come around anymore u obviously have issues and wont be a part of this program disturbing dorms and classes and teachers and basketball coaches and every other thing good luck Alex.

“I’ll take u off the f**king scholarship I have u too since u have forgotten that.”

Independence Community College president Dan Barwick issued a statement to KOAM News Nowsaying the university “does not condone the language”.

According to the statement, Barwick confirmed an investigation into the incident was underway after he spoke to Brown about what happened.
